0:00:04 > 0:00:08These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Together, they make up the Eggheads,
0:00:11 > 0:00:15arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19The question is, can they be beaten?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Welcome to a special celebrity edition of Eggheads,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30the show where a team of five quiz challengers
0:00:30 > 0:00:33pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain.
0:00:33 > 0:00:39You might recognise them, as they've won some of the country's toughest quiz shows. They are the Eggheads.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Taking on our awesome quiz titans are the Olympians.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Just like our Eggheads, this team of
0:00:44 > 0:00:48some of the country's top Olympic and Paralympic athletes have trained for years
0:00:48 > 0:00:52to reach the very pinnacle of their chosen disciplines.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57In fact, the only difference between our well-honed quiz Goliaths and these renowned athletes
0:00:57 > 0:01:01is that Kevin doesn't take his top off just as much as Mark Foster.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Let's meet them.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I'm Matthew Pinsent and I competed in the sport of rowing.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11I'm Roger Black and I ran the 400 metres and 4x400-metre relay.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'm Sharron Davies and I swam in the 400 metres individual medley.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'm Mark Foster and I'm a 50-metre freestyle swimmer.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22I'm Ade Adepitan, former Paralympic wheelchair basketball player.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Well, welcome to you, Olympians.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29As I said in that introduction, you've taken on the best in the world in the sporting field
0:01:29 > 0:01:33and now you're trying it in the quiz field. Why on earth, Matthew? Why?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35We were just saying beforehand,
0:01:35 > 0:01:40their winning percentage is 92% or something,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42so we reckon we're up against it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46But it would be another achievement that we can be proud of,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49if we could say we beat the Eggheads.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52You've done a bit of quizzing before.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Matthew and Roger, you've been on Celebrity Millionaire.- Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- We did all right, didn't we? - Went very well. We were lucky.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00£125,000, I think we did.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02You did, Mark, er...
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Weakest Link, didn't you?- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05And you won that, did you?
0:02:05 > 0:02:10I kind of bribed Anne into the fact that if I made the final, I'd take my top off.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14That's the only reason I made the final. My questions seemed easier than everybody else's.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18But you've got to do the politics, haven't you? "I won't vote against you, mate".
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Then, first thing, you say, "Get your name on the board."
0:02:21 > 0:02:26One year, I was on with Steve Backley. We had a bit of a plan, but then I voted him off.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27THEY ALL CHUCKLE
0:02:27 > 0:02:29But I made the final!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32That's all that matters to these Olympians.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We put Matt at the front - four-time Olympic gold medallist.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37They're scared, aren't they?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38We've got big hitters!
0:02:38 > 0:02:43You've certainly got big hitters here. Let see if you're big quizzers, though. Let's play.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Every day, there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs for our Challengers' chosen charity.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51But if they fail to defeat the Eggheads, the money rolls over.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Olympians, the Eggheads have won the last four games,
0:02:54 > 0:02:59which means £5,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And I know which category you're hoping for,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04but we've got four to play - four head-to-heads to play -
0:03:04 > 0:03:08before we reach the final round. The first one up is Film & Television.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Film & TV.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Who wants to play this?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Do you want me to try it?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18There's no trying it - you either win or you don't come back.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- All right. They voted me. - They all took one step backwards, and you were left as the volunteer.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I was the only one at the front, still.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28The advantage is that you get to choose any Egghead you like.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I mean, it's the first round so they're all available.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Daphne.- Daphne?- Good choice.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- That's a nice reaction. - That's a good choice.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Lady versus lady.- She's the Venus flytrap of quizzing, isn't she?
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Let's have Sharron and Daphne into the Question Room, then, please,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47just to make sure you can't confer with your teams.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Sharron, you can choose, because you're the Challenger. Do you want to go first or second?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Let's get it over and done with and go first.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Best of luck. Here's your first question.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards
0:04:03 > 0:04:06were regular cast members in which American TV sitcom?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK, so you have picked the era that I was probably training a fair bit,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18and I don't recognise any of those names, so I am going to have...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21..a guess.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Er, I don't think it's Friends,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26cos, obviously, I ought to recognise some of those names.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm going to go with Seinfeld.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Seinfeld?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Sighs of mighty relief from your colleagues. It's the right answer.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- We can go home now, it's been great. Brilliant!- Sorry, guys!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Best of one. OK.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Daphne, your first question.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Which TV series, first aired in 1981,
0:04:45 > 0:04:51dealt with the lives of a group of women interned in a Japanese prison camp during the Second World War?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I'm glad I went second, cos I'd have struggled with Sharron's.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02But I did watch it, so Tenko.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It is the right answer. Yes, Tenko.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Back to you, Sharron. Second question.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14Which singer and actor, who had a UK number-one hit in the 1950s with Singing The Blues,
0:05:14 > 0:05:20played a leprechaun called Og in the 1968 film, Finian's Rainbow?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, er...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I'm going to go with Adam Faith, cos he was the smallest of those,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32and would make a very good leprechaun. Not a very good answer,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- but that's my choice. - SHE CHUCKLES
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Adam Faith because of...yes, his size.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Well, I think, er, Tommy Steele was on the petite side as well,
0:05:43 > 0:05:44who did do Singing The Blues.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- It's Tommy Steele. - I'm sorry, guys.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Tommy Steele, the leprechaun in Finian's Rainbow.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56A film that, er, I must admit I've managed to escape, probably thankfully.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Daphne. Who plays Kate Walker opposite Dustin Hoffman
0:05:59 > 0:06:04in the film Last Chance Harvey, released in the UK in 2009?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, I haven't seen it yet,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12but it sounds like my sort of film.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Emma Thompson.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Is the correct answer, Daphne.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Emma Thompson. Last Chance Harvey.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Last chance, Sharron. You've got to get this.- Yes.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Which European film director's works include Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!,
0:06:27 > 0:06:33Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown, and the Oscar-winning All About My Mother?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Michael Haneke is my guess,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44cos I've never seen any of them.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45It's not the right answer, Sharron.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Do you know, Eggheads?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49KEVIN & DAPHNE: Pedro Almodovar.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yeah, it's Pedro Almodovar.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, Sorry, Sharron, it is over.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56As you can see, the score 2-1.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I don't put another question to Daphne. No place in the final round.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Both come back and join your teams.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08After the opening round, the Eggheads are all still there. The Olympians have lost one brain.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11But I know these guys - they love making a comeback.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Our next subject today is Science.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Who'd like to play this? It's Science.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- I watched the show the other day and it was the only questions I could answer.- OK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Can you use the same questions? - THEY CHUCKLE
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- They're all here. They don't change. - Is this the one you want to do?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Yeah, I'll give it a go. - I'll hand it over.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Right. What do we think? We've got Ade going to play it,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34but who do you want to take on?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- We'll choose CJ, please. - OK, let's have Ade and CJ into the Question Room, please.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Tell me, are you still playing basketball, Ade?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- I'm playing a bit of basketball, but I've started playing tennis.- Yeah?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Yeah, I've had a go at tennis. - How does that work in a wheelchair?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Well, you push the chair and you hit the ball.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54DERMOT CHUCKLES
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Yeah, but do you get a little bit longer? Does the ball bounce a couple of times or something?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01You get two bounces.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05But I'd say most of the top 20, top 50 players,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08they hit 75% of the balls on the first bounce.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Cos by the time it's on the second bounce,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14the ball's usually past you or it's too low for you to do anything with it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Are you getting some coaching or just picking it up as you go along?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm definitely getting coaching. I need some.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Probably anger-management coaching, as well.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Trying to hit a top spin and it's ending up in Croydon, you know.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31You'll need anger management when you play CJ! Would you like to go first or second?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'll go first. Put the pressure on.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36That's the spirit.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Good luck, Ade. OK, Science, first question.
0:08:39 > 0:08:45For what does the letter P stand in the computing and internet term, "IP address?"
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Er...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Well, I don't think its performance.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Er...
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Er, so, it's between protocol and processor.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I'm going to go for protocol.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Protocol is the right answer, Ade. Good start. On the board.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09And CJ...
0:09:09 > 0:09:13In a modern UK 13-amp plug, which wire is coloured brown?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18It's not the earth, I don't think.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21I think live is either blue or brown,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and I'm hoping it's brown, so I'll go for live.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Live is brown? Yes, you are correct.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You got it, so it's all square.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Ade, second question.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Which scientist and inventor was labelled "a merchant of death"
0:09:36 > 0:09:40in 1888, in a prematurely printed obituary in a French newspaper?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Wow!
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Er...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54This is tough. I reckon it's, er...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It's Mr Pasteur.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Louis Pas... I'm going for a guess here,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00and I'm going for Louis Pasteur.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03It's incorrect. It is... Eggheads?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Nobel.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Nobel. The inventor, of course, of...?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Dynamite.- Dynamite.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11So there we have, yes, Alfred Nobel.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14A premature obituary in 1888,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16described as "a merchant of death."
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well, CJ, you have a chance to take the lead.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24CJ, in 1839, vulcanisation was discovered in its simplest form
0:10:24 > 0:10:27when Charles Goodyear heated rubber and which other element?
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Well, I'm not sure, but I always associate vulcanisation with sulphur.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Obviously, there's a lot of sulphur around volcanoes as well,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40so that's my answer. Sulphur.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41It's the right answer, yes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Charles Goodyear. To get the tyres and the rest of it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Ade. Henry Vandyke Carter created the illustrations
0:10:50 > 0:10:55for the first edition of a classic 19th-century manual, now familiarly known by which name?
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Well, the Origin of Species is Darwin,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08so, er... So, that's not him.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09I'm going to go for...
0:11:10 > 0:11:13..with confidence, Gray's Anatomy.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Hence the illustrations. It's right.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Well done, Ade, you worked it out. - Bring it on!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yes! "Come on," he says to CJ.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Right, CJ.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26If you don't get this, we go to Sudden Death.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Hellas Planitia is a vast crater on which planet?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Well, I haven't heard of the crater,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39but...Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43They have no discernible solid surface.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46On that basis, I'd have to go for Mars.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49You lot don't seem to have any visible defects at the moment.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It is right. Worked out cos of his gas giants.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55The curse of the second question, again. Happened to Sharron.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Ade, it means you won't be playing in the final round.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- D'oh!- Would you both come back and join your teams?
0:12:02 > 0:12:08The Olympians have lost two brains from the final round. Eggheads have lost none, and our next subject...
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Guess what it is. It's Sport. - Excellent.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Only three of you can play this,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16because Sharron and Ade have played, so, it's Mark, Roger or Matthew.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18We know this one beforehand - Mark.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22OK. Who would you like to play from the Eggheads? Daphne and CJ have played,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25so coming down here, it's Kevin, Judith or Pat.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- We're going to have Judith. - OK, Judith.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Well, I'd quite like to go home, now.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33You can't. You can go into the Question Room with Mark.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- There's some compensation for you. - Well, that's a compensation.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40So, Mark, are you still dancing?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Er, yes. I actually just started a new show called Dancing On Wheels,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48so I am still dancing. I enjoyed the experience so much the first time.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I was told I was like John Travolta.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Swimming had finished... Don't make a funny face... You're obviously watching the wrong screen.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58And, er, tell me about the shirt bit.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01When you were on Strictly Come Dancing, I mean,
0:13:01 > 0:13:03did you ever have a shirt on towards the end?
0:13:03 > 0:13:07I can't remember you wearing any clothes from the waist up.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11I danced one week in a fishnet top, which was very much down to wardrobe.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12That was not my choice.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Then... I actually should have taken the shirt off earlier and got a few more votes,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19but left it a little bit too late.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24When it came to the last show, everyone came in and it was your final dance, your farewell.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28A few people were shouting, "Take your shirt off," so I took my shirt off.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It's got to be done. It's what the public want. Would you like to go first or second?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36If I go first and get a question right, it might be the only time I'm in the lead.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38So, I'll go first.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42OK, first question. Here you go, Mark.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Best of luck. What name is given to the part of a racetrack directly opposite the home straight?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Er... Well, as soon as you said that, before the answers came up,
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I was thinking of something. It might be a bit too obvious,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00but I haven't heard of the others.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04I might be wrong but I've heard of "back straight." I'll go for that.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07It's got to be, hasn't it? It's the right answer.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Back straight is correct, so one to you. Good start, Mark.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Judith, a grapevine is a move in which sport?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- A grapevine?- A grapevine.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well, a vine grows up.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It doesn't twine along the ground.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I would think that's probably basketball.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- OK, a grapevine. You're going for basketball.- Yep.- Yep.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Er...wrestling, Judith.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- So, incorrect. You're in the lead. - OLYMPIANS: Yes!
0:14:37 > 0:14:41And not just in the lead because you took the first question.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45In the lead because the Eggheads got one incorrect. So, you can go 2-0 in the lead.
0:14:45 > 0:14:52In 1958, who became the first winners of the Formula One World Constructors' Championship?
0:14:55 > 0:15:00I've never heard of Vanwall. Sorry. It's probably the right answer,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02but I'm not going to go for them.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I would have... I think back then, Lotus were a very good racing team.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Ferrari, obviously, nowadays, but I'm going to go for Lotus.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13OK, Lotus, the first winners of
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- the Formula One Constructors' Championship. Eggheads?- Vanwall.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19It is Vanwall, Mark.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It is Vanwall. So, nothing there but no particular damage done,
0:15:22 > 0:15:26and you may still hold the lead after this if Judith gets it wrong.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Judith, who was the first man to swim 100 metres in under a minute?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Help!
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- I know this one.- Tell me! I'll take MY top off if you will.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39- THEY CHUCKLE - Judith!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Judith!
0:15:41 > 0:15:46I think Johnny Weissmuller was put in as a sort of red herring.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And Mark Spitz, I think, is too recent.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52So, I'm going to say Matt Biondi and hope for the best.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55OK, Matt Biondi, who came after Mark Spitz.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57THEY CHUCKLE
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Yes. Matt Biondi, the most recent of them all.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Oh.- It's incorrect.- Obviously.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- MARK IMITATES TARZAN'S WAIL - Johnny Weissmuller?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Is that a clue? Yes, it is.- Oh!
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Tarzan himself, yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12There we are. You still have the lead, Mark.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- You win the round if you give me a correct answer.- Come on, Mark!
0:16:18 > 0:16:23In February 2009, the World Cup-winning Rugby Union player Jason Robinson
0:16:23 > 0:16:29was confirmed as the new head coach of which Guinness Premiership rugby club for the 2009/10 season?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Shall I do one of the ones where I go through everything
0:16:35 > 0:16:38and tell you who's the coach of different teams?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Nah, just give me the right answer. - Sale Sharks.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Hey, he knows it.- He knows it!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Waving goodbye to Judith.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Oh, were you?- He knows it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Sale Sharks is correct and it's bye-bye, Judith.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- OLYMPIANS CHEER - I knew it would be.- Sorry!
0:16:54 > 0:16:58It means you're in the final round, Mark. No place for you, Judith.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Would you both, please, come back fully clothed and join your teams?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Taking closer order now, the Olympians.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12They've knocked an Egghead out, but two Olympians are missing from the final round so far.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Our last subject before the final round is Geography.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17And it's Matthew or Roger to play.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Geography.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Has to be me.- It has to be Matthew. He read it at university. - Don't build the pressure!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Grassing him up there.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Oh, dear!
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Now, from the Eggheads, Kevin or Pat?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Er, we'll go for Pat.- OK.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Pat, winner of Are You An Egghead? against Sir Matthew Pinsent.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Can I ask you both to take your positions in the Question Room?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Do you want the first question on this, or do you want Pat to face it?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I'll go first.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Best of luck, Matthew.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Here you go.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55What are the two main colours on the flag of Portugal?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02My straightforward, er...
0:18:03 > 0:18:09..mental idea of the Portuguese flag, before you even gave me the options,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12was red and green.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- I'm going to stick with red and green.- OK, red and green.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It's the right answer. Red and green.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Two main colours of the flag of Portugal.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23So, good start.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Pat, your first question. Brooklyn Bridge connects Brooklyn directly to which other New York borough?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I think it connects Manhattan to Brooklyn.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Er...Brooklyn Bridge - you're saying Manhattan, yeah?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Yes, Manhattan.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It is the right answer. Well done, Pat.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46One each. Matthew, second question.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51The southernmost point of mainland Australia is in which state?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I know it's not New South Wales,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00because that's further north on the, er...
0:19:00 > 0:19:01east coast.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Er, I'm worried, but I'm going to go for Victoria.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09A worried man.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- No need to be - it's the right answer.- Wahey!- Well worked out.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Look at that satisfaction.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16So, Pat...
0:19:16 > 0:19:22Die Strasse des 17. Juni is a street in the centre of which German city?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Er...I've been to Munich.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I haven't been...either of the other two cities.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I really don't know, so simply because I like Munich so much,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I will pick Munich.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39It's Berlin.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Berlin. So, there you have it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44The opportunity to win the game, here, Matthew.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47And you win it on your own if you get this.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50The only electric mountain railway in the British Isles
0:19:50 > 0:19:52is to be found on which peak?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I'm sure you talked of little else on those training mornings.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02MARK AND ADE CHUCKLE
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I haven't got the foggiest.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08And I can't...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I'll have to guess. I'm going to guess Helvellyn.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Helvellyn. Eggheads?
0:20:18 > 0:20:19- Snaefell.- It's Snaefell.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Snaefell. There we are.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26But still might win it, if Pat doesn't get this.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Pat, North Foreland is a headland just north of which town?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Er, Broadstairs is in Kent.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Bridlington is up on the Yorkshire coast, I think,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42and Wick is in the very tip of Scotland,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44near Thurso.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Wick seems the most likely location for, er...
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- such a place. So, I'll go with Wick.- Wick.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55OK, North Foreland is a headland just north of...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Going north and furthest north there is Wick,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01but it's the furthest south - Broadstairs in Kent.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02- THEY CHEER - Come on!
0:21:02 > 0:21:07A surprise, Pat, there. Matthew, it didn't matter about that third one.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10You're in the final. Both please come back and join your teams.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Matthew, congratulations. Not only are you through to the final, but you have the other accolade
0:21:17 > 0:21:21of being the first person to defeat Pat since he joined the Eggheads.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25First defeat on Celebrity Eggheads there for Pat, so well done there, as well.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It means it's going to be all square in the final. Let me tell you what will happen.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34This is what we've been playing towards - the final round, which is general knowledge.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Those of you who lost your head-to-heads
0:21:36 > 0:21:38won't be allowed to take part.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40So, Sharron and Ade from the Olympians,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44and Pat and Judith from the Eggheads, would you leave the studio?
0:21:45 > 0:21:50So, Matthew, Roger and Mark, you're playing to win the Olympians £5,000 for your chosen charity.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Kevin, CJ and Daphne, you're playing for something which money can't buy.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56The Eggheads' reputation.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02I'll ask each team three questions in turn. The questions are general knowledge and you may confer.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06That's the big difference. Talk amongst yourselves as much as you like.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12Olympians, the question is, are your three brains better than the Eggheads' three?
0:22:12 > 0:22:18- Matthew, Roger and Mark, do you want to go first or second?- It's worked for us so far, so we'll go first.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Let's kick off, then, Olympians.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24First question to you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Ha-ha! Try this one.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Now, where in the UK is the National Indoor Arena?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- This is a nice question to start off with.- You competed in it!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I've definitely run there in the past.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It's, er... It's in Birmingham.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It's, er, absolutely in Birmingham.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47It hasn't moved. It is the right answer, yes. Birmingham.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Birmingham is correct, and fell very nicely for the Olympians there.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Eggheads, your first question.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58A 50-metre-high statue of which animal was commissioned in 2009
0:22:58 > 0:23:02to commemorate the building of Ebbsfleet International Station in Kent?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08It's supposed to be a counterpart of The Angel Of The North.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think it's Mark Wallinger who's doing it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13And it's a huge white horse.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16A huge white horse at Ebbsfleet International
0:23:16 > 0:23:18is the right answer, Eggheads.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20So, one each. Back to you guys,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Matthew, Roger, Mark.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Anna Livia Plurabelle and Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker
0:23:27 > 0:23:31are literary characters created by which Irish writer?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I'm thinking it's not James Joyce.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- I'M thinking it's not James Joyce. - Right, cos he's serious.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46I'm thinking Oscar Wilde would come up with names like that.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I was thinking Beckett. I don't know why.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53I think he's older, Beckett.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I was leaning towards Beckett straight away,
0:23:55 > 0:23:59only because I don't think of Oscar Wilde as...
0:23:59 > 0:24:02humorous, and...
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Why?- I just...
0:24:04 > 0:24:05I thought he was.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09Oscar Wilde might have been... He was very, er...
0:24:09 > 0:24:12kind of, er...
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- wrapped up in the classes and all that.- Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18So, maybe a double-barrelled name leads me towards Oscar Wilde.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Come on, then. I'll swing back towards Wilde.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Oh!- Come on. We're getting to the point where we've got no evidence.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29None of us have read enough of their works.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Have we not? We're going to say...
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Oscar Wilde.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38OK, Oscar Wilde for the wonderfully named characters,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Anna Livia Plurabelle and Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Well...you know what, guys?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46You were always barking up the wrong tree
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- when you eliminated James Joyce. - Oh, James Joyce!
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Don't worry about it. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:24:52 > 0:24:53James Joyce.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55And they are from which book?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Finnegans Wake. - Finnegans Wake by James Joyce.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02OK, no chance, then. So, you know, onwards and upwards.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05See how the Eggheads do with their second. You'll get a third, anyway.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Eggheads, the fashion designer Cristobal Balenciaga,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12who died in 1972, was born in which country?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- KEVIN:- I believe he was Spanish.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- So, unless he was born in the... - Yeah, precisely.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Unless he was born in the Spanish bit of...
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Morocco. Cos they, you know...
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Ceuta or Melilla.- I've always known him to be Spanish.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I don't know if he was born anywhere else. We have to go for Spain.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36We have to play the percentages and go for Spain. Er, hoping...
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I mean, he was Spanish.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41So, we just hope he was actually born in Spain.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So, Spain.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47I heard you saying there was a Spanish part of Morocco.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50There still are. There are still a couple of Spanish territories
0:25:50 > 0:25:51on the north coast of Morocco.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53He was born, though, in Spain.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56It's the right answer, Eggheads.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Trying to worry them. They're not to be worried.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02You've got to get this, Olympians. What is the name of the French high-wire artist
0:26:02 > 0:26:07who became famous after his walk between the Twin Towers in New York in 1974?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I heard someone talk about this the other day.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23They were on about him maybe going from the London Eye to Big Ben.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27I can't remember the name, but the only one that rings a bell is Petit.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- This is '74 we're talking about. - It's the original guy.- OK.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Coming back and doing it again.- OK.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36We don't know the answer, but going on instinct,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Mark has an instinct it's Philippe Petit.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Is that your answer?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42We'll go with Philippe.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Philippe Petit, and lump it all on to Mark.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47THEY CHUCKLE
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- It's the right answer.- Yay!
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Oh, Marky!- Well remembered, there. Well remembered.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54There was a film about it, Eggheads.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Quite recently - Man On Wire. Very good documentary.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00So, gives you a chance. Eggheads, though, need to fluff this
0:27:00 > 0:27:04to take us to Sudden Death. If not, they do win the game.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10Eggheads, which football manager guided Wimbledon to an unexpected FA Cup Final victory in 1988?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17It wasn't Lawrie McMenemy. It was Bobby Gould, wasn't it?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- I don't know.- It was Bobby Gould.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- I don't think it was either of the others.- I don't know who Melia is,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- but not McMenemy.- No.- Bobby Gould was manager of Wimbledon, so...
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- For a while, so... OK?- Yeah.- Fine.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It wasn't Lawrie McMenemy.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Pretty sure it wasn't Jimmy Melia.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I think Bobby Gould's the one there
0:27:35 > 0:27:38who was a Wimbledon manager, so...
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'm assuming he was the manager
0:27:40 > 0:27:42at the time they won. Bobby Gould.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Bobby Gould.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- The answer is Bobby Gould.- Ah!
0:27:46 > 0:27:47- You've won.- Sorry.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Olympians, you've got the silver but I know...
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- THEY SCOFF - ..second doesn't count for you lot. I could tell.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04Listen, bad luck. There's been one question in it, almost in all the rounds. Certainly in that.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07It is, as this man says, just the way the questions fall.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Thank you for playing Eggheads. We really appreciate it.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Not just you three who survived the head-to-heads, but Ade and Sharron as well.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Thank you for playing today. It's been a real joy to have you here.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21The Eggheads have done what comes naturally, and still reign supreme over quiz-land.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26I'm afraid you haven't won the £5,000, which means the money rolls over to the next show.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Eggheads, congratulations.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Who will beat you?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Join us next time to see if a team of Celebrity Mastermind winners
0:28:33 > 0:28:37have the brains to defeat the Eggheads. £6,000 says they don't.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Until then, goodbye.
